Tonight at Ten: A stark warning that the Zika virus will spread | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
to most countries in South, Central and North America. | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
It's already been blamed for thousands of birth defects | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
in Brazil and so far there's no vaccine or treatment available. | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
The virus is spead by mosquitoes and the World Health Organisation | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
The explosive spread of the virus to a geographical areas is another | :00:24. | :00:38. | |
cause for concern. We'll be reporting from Brazil | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
and we'll be looking at the latest scientific evidence | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
about the Zika virus. Also tonight: At the Hillsborough | :00:46. | :00:47. | |
inquest the coroner tells the jury they must ask whether the 96 victims | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
were killed unlawfully. A British explorer has died just 30 | :00:51. | :00:52. | |
miles from finishing the first solo A special report from eastern | :00:53. | :00:55. | |
Afghanistan where so-called Islamic State is trying | :00:56. | :01:15. | |
to extend its influence. And all three panels of Monet's | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
famous Water Lily work will be displayed together in public | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
for the first time in Europe. Later, on Reporting Scotland: Safety | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
on the West Coast railway line. A high-speed train was allowed | :01:30. | :01:32. | |
to cross this viaduct And after a series of landslips | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
force repeated closures of the A83 - extra cash to try to keep | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
the road open. The World Health Organisation has | :01:44. | :02:00. | |
issued a warning that the zika virus, which is being blamed | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
for thousands of birth defects in Brazil, is likely to spread | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
to almost every country in South, There's no vaccine against the virus | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
and pregnant women have been advised to avoid travelling to countries | :02:13. | :02:17. | |
where it's present. The virus is carried by mosquitoes, | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
but experts admit they know very For the latest, let's | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
join our South America In just over a year this | :02:26. | :02:38. | |
little-known virus has arrived here in Brazil, it's out of control | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
taking root here in Brazil and across the Americas. The Zika virus | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
has been linked to debilitating birth defects in children, and as | :02:48. | :02:48. | |
we've been finding out in Rio de birth defects in children, and as | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
Janeiro and in the worst hit areas of northern Brazil, the authorities | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
here are not very well placed to deal with it. | :02:57. | :02:58. | |
Cared for and loved as much as any other child but an increasing number | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
of babies in Brazil are being born with a condition that will affect | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
them for the rest of their lives. Chris Ivory is driving fear into the | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
hearts of thousands of resilient families -- microcephaly. And in | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
many cases mothers may not be aware of it until their baby is born. | :03:17. | :03:23. | |
Linked to the mosquito borne Zika virus the virus is having worldwide | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
repercussions. The explosive spread of Zika virus | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
to new geographical areas with little population immunity is | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
another cause for concern. Especially given the possible link | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
between infection during pregnancy and baby is born with small heads. | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
In the Brazilian city of Salvador, gentle physiotherapy helps ease the | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
pain of muscular problems associated with microcephaly. In addition to | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
smaller than average head size zika may be responsible for a range of | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
debilitating conditions affecting a generation of children and their | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
families. TRANSLATION: It's really hard, he's our first child and we | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
never expected to have a baby that needs special care. His father was | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
still shocked and wanted to remain anonymous and added it was not his | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
fault and the doctors still don't know how the condition will develop. | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
Such is the scale of the problem in the city of Recife, the Army has | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
been deployed to battle the mosquito borne virus. Going door-to-door, | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
soldiers check homes and water supplies amid fears that zika may | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
already be out of control. Indeed, zika has spread like wildfire. Here | :04:41. | :04:43. | |
in Colombia there have been thousands of reported cases and the | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
outbreak covers more than 20 countries. Colombia is even advising | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
women to delay any plans they may have to get pregnant. But it's in | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
Brazil where the health system is already under strain and the added | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
pressure of thousands of visitors coming for this year's Olympics that | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
zika is having the biggest impact. While some countries have issued | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
very strict travel advice, the real question is whether Brazil itself | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
can cope with the scale of the zika out-braked. This is the favela on | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
the edge of the Olympic Park with open sewers and lots of stagnant | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
water, perfect mosquito breeding ground. But all the authorities have | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
said they might do so far as fumigate these areas in the run-up | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
to the Games. This house was demolished and now I'm stuck with | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
this standing pool of water, risking zika and dengue fever, says this | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
woman who has lived here for 20 years. Haven't given us any | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
information about how to prevent zika, except to put on insect | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
repellent. Would-be mothers across Latin America are scared. If they | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
have contracted zika it's not until late in a pregnancy that any foetal | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
deformities will show, so it's a race against time. A vaccine for | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
zika may not be found for three years and this is developing into a | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
major health crisis. As we heard, the zika virus | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
is carried by mosquitoes, and there's currently no vaccine | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
or treatment available. So what causes it, how does | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
it spread, and who's Here's our medical | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
correspondent Fergus Walsh. When infected with the zika virus, | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
it can pass it to humans which also spreads dengue | :06:23. | :06:30. | |
fever. The zika virus was identified way | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
back in 1947 in Uganda. But until a few months ago the zika | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
virus was not thought to be a public 80% of those infected | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
have no symptoms. In the rest it can cause a mild | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
fever and headaches, In less than a year it's spread | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
from Mexico, the Caribbean, to South America, 21 countries | :06:53. | :07:09. | |
in all, most notably There doctors believe it represents | :07:10. | :07:11. | |
a major health threat to women infected in the early | :07:12. | :07:16. | |
stages of pregnancy. They think zika may cause a normally | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
rare condition in infants born with unusually small | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
heads and damaged brains. The only serious risk | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
to public health is to pregnant women and pregnant women, | :07:32. | :07:44. | |
if they get infected, they could have babies | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
with microcephaly. So pregnant women should | :07:47. | :07:47. | |
consider very seriously whether to travel to places where | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
there is zika infection going on. Zika is quite unlike the deadly | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
Ebola virus, which has killed more Ebola is highly contagious, | :08:00. | :08:02. | |
whereas Zika does not pass This is not Ebola, this | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
is a disease that is transmitted from mosquitoes so it | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
will only be a problem in areas where there is this | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
the same mosquito that But like Ebola it is an emerging | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
infectious disease, It's too cold in the UK | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
for the mosquito that carries the zika virus, | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
so it's not a public But global health officials believe | :08:37. | :08:38. | |
in time it will spread to many more countries, including parts | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
of the United States. At the inquests into the deaths | :08:44. | :08:44. | |
of 96 football fans at the Hillsborough Stadium | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
in Sheffield in 1989, the coroner has started summing up | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
260 days of evidence. He's asked the jury to answer | :08:54. | :08:56. | |
a series of questions, including whether the Liverpool | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
supporters who died Our north of England correspondent | :09:00. | :09:00. | |
Judith Moritz has more details. Hillsborough took away | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
the lives of 96 men, They were mothers and fathers, | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
brothers and sisters, The youngest was just ten, | :09:12. | :09:17. | |
the oldest a pensioner of nearly 70. Their families have spent more | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
than a quarter of a century For the last two years they have sat | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
through hours of harrowing The coroner's speech today marks | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
the beginning of the end. I don't know what I am | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
going to do when this is over, I really, truly don't know | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
what I am going to do. Hillsborough is all | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
I have ever known. The inquests have examined every | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
aspect of what happened at Britain's worst stadium disaster, | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
when the fans were crushed Now the jurors have been given | :09:51. | :09:52. | |
a questionnaire based Amongst the 14 questions they'll | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
have to answer is whether the 96 people who died were | :09:58. | :10:04. | |
unlawfully killed. They will also be asked | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
whether the police and ambulance services made any errors | :10:06. | :10:07. | |
which contributed to And they will consider topics | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
including the design of the stadium Former Chief Superintendent David | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
Dukinfield was in charge More than 25 years later, | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
he came to the new inquests Was he responsible for manslaughter | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
by gross negligence? The jury have to be sure of that | :10:24. | :10:33. | |
if accepting the fans It is nearly two years since | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
the jurors came to Hillsborough. They saw for themselves | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
where the crowd built up here outside the ground | :10:43. | :10:44. | |
and they went through the tunnel, under the Sheffield Wednesday | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
sign, towards the pitch. Since then, they have sat | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
through many months of often very harrowing evidence and their task | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
will be to find answers She is pleased the jury | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
is being asked for more than just What the narrative does is give | :11:03. | :11:11. | |
the opportunity to expand on what is ultimately going out | :11:12. | :11:26. | |
to the public so it isn't just a finding and a one line | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
statement that the people can The coroner is expected to take | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
three weeks to sum up the evidence. The jury will be | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
sent out next month. Tributes have been paid | :11:38. | :11:39. | |
to the British explorer Henry Worsley, who's died | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
in his attempt to become the first person to cross the Antarctic | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
without support. The former army officer had walked | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
more than 900 miles and was only 30 miles from his goal | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
when he was taken ill and airlifted He was attempting a 1,000-mile | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
unsupported trek across the continent, following in | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton a century ago, | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
as our science editor Nowhere on Earth is more | :12:07. | :12:08. | |
hostile to human life. So crossing the icy, | :12:09. | :12:16. | |
vast and dangerous continent of Antarctica alone and unaided | :12:17. | :12:18. | |
was always going to be Henry Worsley was trying something | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
no one had managed before, and he nearly did it, | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
but ill and exhausted I have run out of time, | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
physical endurance, and simple sheer ability to slide | :12:29. | :12:47. | |
one ski in front of the other to travel the distance required | :12:48. | :12:49. | |
to reach my goal. After a trek of 900 miles with just | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
30 to go he called for a pick-up. He was flown to Chile | :12:55. | :13:00. | |
and after complete Henry Worsley was someone who knew | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
the dangers of the Polar world. Before a previous expedition | :13:03. | :13:11. | |
to Antarctica he trained in Greenland and seemed to remain | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
calm, whatever happened. Henry? | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
Yes? How are you? | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
Are you OK? Yeah, I'm all right. | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
You crack on. And last year he told us | :13:27. | :13:28. | |
what worried him most. The biggest threat really | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
will be from the weather, and possibly from crevasses | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
on the final 100 miles as I come down the | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
Shackleton Glacier. His hope was to follow | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
in the footsteps of the great polar explorer Ernest Shackleton, | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
who tried and failed to cross the captain of the expedition ship | :13:42. | :13:43. | |
Endurance. Travelling alone was the ultimate | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
test. Going solo with no resupply | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
and being unassisted in all shapes and forms is the purist form | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
and the hardest form of travel quite possibly on the surface | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
of the Earth. Only a week ago he believed | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
he was still on course. I'm jolly hungry, I'm | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
jolly tired and I've got a deadline to meet for a pick-up | :14:10. | :14:17. | |
on somewhere around the 24th. He never made it, | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
but his friends Princes William and Harry, said | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
he'll be an inspiration, and he'll be remembered | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
for coming so close to making David Shukman reporting | :14:31. | :14:32. | |
on the explorer Henry Worsley, President Ashraf Ghani | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
of Afghanistan has called on the international community | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
to help his government tackle the growing threat of so-called | :14:43. | :14:44. | |
Islamic State in the east It means that, one year | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
after the end of the Nato combat mission, the Afghan authorities | :14:48. | :14:53. | |
are struggling to cope with threats From Afghanistan, our correspondent | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
Justin Rowlatt sent Refugees put up rough shelters | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
on a patch of wasteland outside These aren't victims of the Taliban, | :15:01. | :15:09. | |
but of so-called Islamic State. The Islamist militants have seized | :15:10. | :15:19. | |
territory in the remote eastern provinces of Afghanistan, | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
driving local people The refugees tell stories | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
of horrific violence. She says IS, Daesh they call it | :15:25. | :15:34. | |
here, attacked her village. I don't know where my | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
father is, she tells us. Rahman Wali's brother was one | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
of more than 100 men IS abducted TRANSLATION: At first we had no idea | :15:50. | :15:52. | |
what happened to him. They said everyone was being held | :15:53. | :16:00. | |
in a small room and IS was torturing Wali recognised his brother Rahman | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
Gul in an Isis propaganda video. The video showed Gul being led | :16:07. | :16:23. | |
with nine other villagers to where a row of bombs | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
had been buried. Each man was forced | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
to sit on a bomb. IS has struck within | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
an hour of Kabul. The police say it's only a matter | :16:33. | :16:41. | |
of time before it attacks the Afghan capital, and the threat isn't just | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
here in Afghanistan. It says Isis is openly fighting | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
the Taliban to create a safe haven in the mountains in | :16:51. | :16:58. | |
the east of the country - potentially a second stronghold | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
from which to launch attacks So how serious a threat | :17:02. | :17:05. | |
is IS in Afghanistan? To answer that, you | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
need to leave Kabul. An IS commander has agreed to talk | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
to an Afghan colleague. This man struggles | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
to assemble his AK-47. You must fight to the | :17:24. | :17:33. | |
bitter end, he says. These are disaffected former Taliban | :17:34. | :17:46. | |
who now want to fight a global jihad The commander says | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
they plan more attacks. TRANSLATION: At the moment, | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
we exist in three provinces In the others, we are waiting | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
for orders from our leader, IS is reckoned to have hundreds, | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
not thousands, of fighters. Not a huge force, but enough | :18:08. | :18:15. | |
to bring mayhem and misery. The Afghan army has | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
struck back against IS. It says IS has little | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
support from locals But the Defence Minister warns that | :18:27. | :18:29. | |
eliminating IS in Afghanistan will require an | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
international response. The key question is from where | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
they are getting all this funding and how they are transferring this | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
funding and how this movement of goods and money and everything | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
else is happening. So that is why Afghanistan alone | :18:50. | :18:53. | |
cannot deal with all these challenges, because it is | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
coming from outside. This isn't the first foreign | :18:58. | :19:01. | |

election victory in 1983. As James Landale reports, | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Lord Parkinson's career was undermined by a scandal | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
when his affair with His report does contain flash | :20:51. | :20:52. | |
photography from the start. Cecil Parkinson was the charming | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
face of Margaret Thatcher's Government, a friend as much | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
as an ally who flattered her, believed in her and above all | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
helped to win elections. What we do now is going to shake | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
the future for our children. The young businessman was cut | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
from the same cloth as Mrs Thatcher, both self-made, both | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
of humble origins. And in the early 1980s | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
she rewarded him with a seat And in 1983 he paid her back | :21:21. | :21:22. | |
with a thumping majority. But within months of those scenes | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
of triumph here at the old Tory party headquarters, | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
Cecil Parkinson snatched defeat He was out of office | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
and in disgrace. It emerged that he'd | :21:37. | :21:48. | |
been having a long affair with his secretary, Sara Keays, | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
who was now pregnant. At the Tory conference | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
in Blackpool in 1983 he fought But after Keys claimed that he'd | :21:53. | :21:54. | |
broken a promise to marry her, The Right Honourable Cecil Parkinson | :21:55. | :22:04. | |
has tendered his resignation as Secretary of State | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
for Trade and Industry. He was mocked in public | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
but missed in Downing Street. And four years later Mrs Thatcher | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
gave him a second political life as Energy Secretary, | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
with a brief to privatise more national industries, | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
just as years earlier he'd opened up He was part of the great political | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
generation that did really extraordinary things | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
for our country. He'll be hugely missed | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
by many on all sides Cecil Parkinson was one of the few | :22:30. | :22:31. | |
ministers who stayed loyal And when she resigned | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
in 1990 he went too, for a peerage and a more private | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
life, apart from a brief return as party chairman to advise a young | :22:43. | :22:45. | |
William Hague after the Tories' Cecil Parkinson was once talked | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
of as Mrs Thatcher's successor. Instead, he was the courtier | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
who stood by her until the last. Lord Parkinson, who has | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
died at the age of 84. In Egypt, on the fifth anniversary | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
of the uprising that ousted President Mubarak, there | :23:07. | :23:08. | |
are extra security measures across the country, and especially | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
in Cairo's Tahrir Square, the focal point of | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
the protests of 2011. There's a warning from | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
the new regime that demonstrations will not be tolerated against | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi. The president stands accused | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
of betraying the hopes of those who took to the streets five years | :23:27. | :23:29. | |
ago, as our correspondent In Tahrir Square, a show of devotion | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
to Egypt's latest strongman, The security forces were there | :23:33. | :23:42. | |
in numbers to prevent any new stirrings of unrest | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
in the birthplace of the revolution. The familiar face of | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
a police state on display. The authorities have | :23:54. | :23:57. | |
done their utmost to ensure only supporters of President | :23:58. | :23:59. | |
al-Sisi are here today. In the past two weeks, | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
they have raided about 5000 homes in central Cairo looking | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
for anyone who might be Five years on, protests | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
are virtually banned in Egypt. Many icons of the revolution that | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
took place here in Tahrir Square It was a very different picture | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
in 2011, when people power swept away Hosni Mubarak and | :24:20. | :24:28. | |
freedom was in the air. Some who were in the square then | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
are facing new threats today. Among them, one of Egypt's most | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
respected human rights campaigners. He has already been detained | :24:40. | :24:43. | |
because of a story he wrote How many people do you know | :24:44. | :24:46. | |
who are now in jail? Those who are not are either living | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
in exile or are on the run or counting the days before | :24:55. | :25:03. | |
they land there, like I did. Is it a risk now just doing | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
an interview like this? Doing an interview like this | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
is a risk to both of us. Noor knows the risks | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
here only too well. The student shows me a photo | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
of his time in Tahrir Square Both he and his brother have been | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
detained in recent years. Noor says he himself was held | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
for three months and tortured. TRANSLATION: They started giving me | :25:31. | :25:40. | |
shocks, here and here, They also put out cigarettes | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
on my hand and on my shoulder. I was subjected to a whole day | :25:44. | :25:53. | |
of torture before my interrogation. Back in Tahrir Square, | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
the skies darkened as the revolution There is little trace | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
of the uprising here now. Or of the hopes it brought | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
for a different future. Tennis news, and Johanna Konta has | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
become the first British competitor since 1984 to reach the quarterfinal | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
of a Grand Slam tournament. And with Andy Murray also winning, | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
it means that for the first time in 39 years Britain is represented | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
in the men's and women's quarterfinals of a Grand Slam, | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
as our sports correspondent A place in the quarterfinals | :26:35. | :26:36. | |
and her best ever performance For a player who was ranked 150th | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
in the world just over a year ago I'm just incredibly happy | :26:44. | :26:50. | |
to still be here in the tournament. The fact that it's the quarterfinal | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
of the Australian Open Johanna Konta was carrying the hopes | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
of British women's tennis At first there were nerves | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
as she handed the opening set to her Russian opponent, | :27:04. | :27:11. | |
Ekaterina Makarova, However, Konta's surge | :27:12. | :27:13. | |
through the rankings has coincided And then, after three hours and four | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
minutes of attrition, For Australian tennis, | :27:18. | :27:25. | |
Konta was the one that got away. Born in Sydney to Hungarian parents, | :27:26. | :27:35. | |
she moved to Eastbourne at the age of 14, and became | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
a British citizen in 2012. Her win brings to an | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
end a 32-year wait. The last British woman to reach | :27:44. | :27:46. | |
a grand slam quarterfinal was Jo Durie back in 1984, | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
who beat a 15-year-old Steffi Graf That was seven years | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
before Konta was born. It's great for the game, | :27:55. | :28:01. | |
it's great for British tennis, it's great for the girls' game | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
in Great Britain because we now have somebody in the back end of slams, | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
and that gets them talking Konta will now meet Chinese | :28:08. | :28:10. | |
qualifier Zhang Shuai for a place So far she's gone under the radar | :28:11. | :28:15. | |
in Melbourne but now the world is waking up to the | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
name Johanna Konta. One of the most eagerly-anticipated | :28:20. | :28:27. | |
art exhibitions of recent years opens later this week | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
at the Royal Academy in London. It will bring together some | :28:32. | :28:33. | |
of the world's best-known works, examining the role that gardens have | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
played in the development of art The work of Monet will be | :28:37. | :28:38. | |
the starting point, and the exhibition will include | :28:39. | :28:43. | |
all three panels of the famous water lily work displayed together | :28:44. | :28:46. | |
in public for the first time in Europe, as our arts editor | :28:47. | :28:49. | |
Will Gompertz reports. A vast landscape without land. Or | :28:50. | :29:04. | |
sky. A view not so much from Monet's Japanese bridge but floating | :29:05. | :29:08. | |
somewhere in his famous water garden. You are immersed in and | :29:09. | :29:13. | |
disoriented by the artist's sensory world. Here we have Monet's great | :29:14. | :29:19. | |
Agapanthus Triptych, one of the major works that preoccupied him for | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
the last ten years of his life. Apparently he would sit for long | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
hours almost every day by his water lily Pond, looking at the shifts of | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
light, reflection, the movement of these rafts of water lilies on the | :29:33. | :29:36. | |
surface of the water, and then go away and distil it all in the | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
studio. Monet created gardens to enjoy and paint wherever he lived. | :29:43. | :29:47. | |
He saw himself as an artist gardener, as did his friends, like | :29:48. | :29:51. | |
when well, who depicted him at work. It was when he moved to northern | :29:52. | :29:56. | |
France that he made a garden to equal one of his paintings. He | :29:57. | :30:01. | |
treated the garden as an artwork in itself. Yes, he designed it with an | :30:02. | :30:08. | |
artist's eye. He went around with pots of paint to work out the colour | :30:09. | :30:12. | |
harmonies in the garden. Perhaps not everyone knows what an extraordinary | :30:13. | :30:19. | |
knowledgeable gardener Monet was. He knew a tremendous amount about | :30:20. | :30:24. | |
horticulture and botany. So does this man. How do these paintings | :30:25. | :30:31. | |
make you feel as a gardener? They make me feel like I want to be | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
painting. They are just so beautifully observed. The colour is | :30:37. | :30:43. | |
so rich, being able to get very close to these paintings and see the | :30:44. | :30:47. | |
colour come out of one thing over the next over the next, it's a very | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
similar process to planting. Sometimes there is moments of | :30:55. | :30:58. | |
incandescents. It's marvellous. There are over 120 paintings in this | :30:59. | :31:05. | |
show, made by late 19th and early 20th century avant-garde artists who | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
studied light effects and colour relationships. Matisse and Kandinsky | :31:11. | :31:14. | |
feature, but for me it is Monet's flowers that stand out. | :31:15. | :31:21. | |
